Jesus Taught Reincarnation

Jesus was not the only one who taught and believed in reincarnation. He himself was a Jew and many of the Jews of his day also believed in reincarnation, including the Pharisees and the Essenes according to Josephus the historian. But obviously what really established reincarnation in the minds of the Jewish Christians was the teachings of Jesus. John chapter 3 is one of the only teachings of Jesus from the bible about reincarnation that was not completely carved out by the correctors hired by the church fathers because it didn’t fit into their doctrines.

Lots of the original parts of the teachings of about Reincarnation have been removed as you will see below. However, most Christians see this biblical passage as a teaching about salvation, especially since only the acceptable phrases are there. Their theologians, scholars and pastors have convinced them that “born-again” means salvation — saved from going to ‘Hell’. The truth is though, we are born again and again and again…

What is Salvation All About?

A kind of Salvation different than what they expected

Jesus used the expression “everlasting life” more than he used “salvation” since it more accurately portrayed the reality of what he taught. The Jews lived in a time when they were under the oppression of the Romans and they were expecting a long awaited messiah that their scriptures prophesied would come who would deliver them out the the hands of their enemies.

However, though Jesus appeared to be that king and messiah that they were awaiting for God to send them, he didn’t come to bring them quite the type of “deliverance” that they had expected. He wasn’t exactly the kind of king most expected him to be. Unless of course, Jesus actually started a flame that ignited a war that was not recorded in the New Testament, like a lot of original passages that are missing from the Bible. There was the Jewish-Roman War (66-73 CE) that destroyed Jerusalem. But I digress…

Jesus came to bring them the message of salvation rather than deliverance from their enemies. He came to teach them the way to obtain “everlasting life”. This is the kind of salvation that would be “lasting unto the age of the ages” as the expression is literally translated.

But the enemy Jesus came to deliver them from was not Rome, as we see from the history that was left to us. Jesus said that his kingdom wasn’t from this world. The real enemy Jesus came to deliver them from was the god of this world and their own sinful selves — and I might add the bondage to a law that was not written by God, but traditions of men.

More on Belief

Belief and Truth — Now these two are almost exact opposites. Belief is accepting something you have little or no evidence of. Belief is subjective, it can be based on feelings or opinions. However, Truth is much different, it is something you KNOW to be a fact because of the evidence — there is no need to believe. Truth is objective, it is what it is no matter what anyone believes, feels or what someone’s opinion is. Truth is Truth regardless of anyone’s opinion. Someone’s opinion may change, but not the Truth — Truth is absolute. Continue reading
